Music: WASO – French and Fantastic
October showcases some of France’s most talented musical exports in two exciting concert programs featuring a world premiere and a tribute to the sea. Conductor Ludovic Morlot makes his WASO debut on October 5 and 6 when he will steer the orchestra firstly with acclaimed cellist Gautier Capucon in Tchaikovsky’s brilliant Variations on a Rococo Theme before taming the waves in the tone poems by Sibelius – Oceanides – and Debussy in La Mer. On October 12 and 13, Morlot returns to the podium with Capucon and piantist Jean Yves Thibaudet in the world premiere of Swiss composer Richard Dubugnon’s Eros Athanatos, which was commissioned by WASO with the support of Jude and Barrie Lepley. Morlot is topping and tailing this special event with the dazzling Debussy Images: Iberia and Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances. It will be a month of French music of the highest order.
